    Always wise? No. The correct response 99.44% of the time you see “CCP” being used? Absolutely. And I’m willing to sacrifice the 0.56% CCP-users who aren’t raging ignoramuses to avoid reading the same old tired, inaccurate, biased talking points of the 99.44%.

      How do you suppose a western average person who wants to learn about the chinese government goes about doing that? I think the odds are they are going to learn the CCP acronym first as it’s being used everywhere in the western media (even though it’s incorrect). So you’re just going to be rude with every single one of those people calling them “ignoramuses” who can safely be ignored? Learn some respect.

        The day the average western person is actually interested in learning about things instead of labeling them with their preconceptions and projections is the day I’ll stop thinking of them as ignoramuses.

        Those who are interested in learning are almost by definition not average. And they tend to learn just fine … without even getting butthurt at a correction to the point they go on and on about it interminably for months after getting corrected.
